Well, at least Netenyahu waited until after the election to start ****. Now Obama can't be defeated by being declared "weak on Israel", even though by "Supporting Israel's right to defend itself" by doing nothing is the same thing that Romney would do.

JERUSALEM -- Palestinian militants barraged Israel with nearly 150 rockets on Thursday, killing three people as Israel pressed a punishing campaign of airstrikes on militant targets across the Gaza Strip. Three rockets struck the densely populated Tel Aviv area, and air raid sirens blared in the city as night fell.

The fighting, which has also killed 15 Palestinians in two days, showed no signs of slowing after dark. The attacks in the Tel Aviv area, some of the deepest rocket strikes on record, raised the likelihood of an even tougher Israeli response. Gaza militants launched the rocket barrage in retaliation for Israel's killing of the Hamas military chief in an airstrike on Gaza Wednesday. In all, 15 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 200 wounded in fighting on Wednesday and Thursday. Three Israelis were killed earlier Thursday when a rocket struck an apartment building in the southern town of Kiryat Malachi. The Israeli military says three soldiers were wounded in a separate rocket attack.

The military said its air campaign has hit 230 targets across Gaza, and its "Iron Dome" rocket defense system has intercepted some 90 incoming rockets.

The document says U.N. General Assembly approval of the Palestinian request would violate 1990s agreements between the two sides and “give Israel the right to reconsider and nullify” them in whole or in part. “Adoption of the resolution by the General Assembly will have grave consequences, and set in motion unilateral Israeli responses,” the ministry communique said, cautioning that it would also complicate future diplomatic progress.

Quote:

Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon, speaking in a similar vein, told Army Radio on Wednesday that his country would “have to take steps to make it clear that there will be a heavy price” if the statehood petition goes ahead.

Those are not statements made by a peace-seeking, civil country that I would want the US to back unconditionally.

Yes. Because the Palestinians are just peacefully sitting there doing nothing at all.

There no "Palestinians" because, apparently, self determination only matters if you're a Jew in the opinion of Israel. I get the counter POV, here, it's not complicated. People who hate you are an inch away from your borders shooting rockets at your citizens. That's no good. It's hard to get past the fact that Israel has oppressively marginalized this area to the point where they've made life **** for 20 year olds who couldn't have cared less about the wars in the 70's and essentially guaranteed another generation of conflict. For what?

Of course self determination for the muslims involves killing all the jews and anyone else who opposes sharia law.

Obama gave egypt to the muslims and now we're seeing the results.

Actually, that's never been what it was about. It has more or less always been about the holy land itself and then treatment of one side by the other. Time for a history lesson(no math for you today!).

At the end of the second world war, the allies, specifically the British, more or less controlled the middle east; syria, jordan, lebanon, palestine, etc. Now the people who would come to found Isreal wished to return to the promised land around Jerusalem, and the Palestinians wanted the same land, and were already there. The British, seeing that this could turn into a sort of civil war, made the offer that they split the area, and leave Jerusalem under the control of the UN(similar to how control of Berlin worked, but without Soviets). The Israelis accepted this, however, the Palestinians rejected it, and proceeded to lose a war over it.

So back then, it was easy to see Israel as the good guys, they saw a.good deal(mind you one that would have been temporary) and took it while the Palestinians got kinda...religiously greedy. However, since then(and this is wht causes others and myself to take the side of the palestinians), Israel has made it their mission to be ***** to all their neighbours, and to commit constant crimes against humanity in the region. And all of it over one ancient city and area, that could so easily be shared. I suppose that in reality, all sides are at complete fault, and the ignorance of people in the countries that support either side, tends to not help the situation at all.

Sharia law, and other religious practices(which, from what I've read, ae not practised by the majority of Palestinians, or muslims for that matter at this point) have absolutely nothing to do with it, and your hate-mongering is a perfect example of what is not helping at all for either side.

Now, I've asked this before, both to you, and others who are about as ignorant of contemporary history(or history in general) as you are: why don't you actually look into the history of the things you claim? Is it because you're lazy? Dumb? Uninterested?(Which would call into question as to why the disinterested would bother to say anything at all)? What is it? I'm legitimately curious about that. Why doesn't anyone seem to want to actually learn things?

The only way they're going to have peace is if we put them in time out and separate them. Like fighting children.

So, we need to somehow split Gaza and move it over to little hole between the West Bank and Jordon where the Dead Sea is drying out due to climate change. Then we need to pick up Israel and drop it in Arizona or Utah - the desert is similar enough that they won't notice.

What? This works on a map puzzle of the world.
